• Linking biotopes to invertebrates in rivers: Biological traits, taxonomic composition and diversity (2012, background): “A promising new area for biomonitoring is the use of biological traits, mainly descriptive of species life-history features (Dolédec and Statzner, 2010; Menezes et al., 2010; Statzner and Bêche, 2010).”
• Moving beyond the guild concept: developing a practical functional trait framework for terrestrial beetles (2015, background): “Such studies typically choose ecological and morphological variables a priori, measure each variable for each species and then resolve interspecific patterns of variation of both sets of variables (e.g. Ribera et al., 2001; Menezes et al., 2010; Barton et al., 2011).”
• Delivering on a promise: integrating species traits to transform descriptive community ecology into a predictive science (2013, background): “…impacted conditions, Webb et al. (2010) argued that new model development is critical for exploiting fully the power of trait-based approaches, and Menezes et al. (2010) called for development of methodological approaches to diminish the effects of trade-offs and alternative combinations of…”
• Extensive gaps and biases in our knowledge of a well‐known fauna: implications for integrating biological traits into macroecology (2012, neutral): “Traits can predict the composition of ecological communities from their environment (Dolédec et al., 1999; McGill et al., 2006; Menezes et al., 2010; Webb et al., 2010), and when traits can be linked to ecosystem functioning (Bremner et al.”
• Can biological traits of stream invertebrates help disentangle the effects of multiple stressors in an agricultural catchment (2014, background): “and spatial scales (Poff, 1997; Bêche, McElravy & Resh, 2006; Menezes, Baird & Soares, 2010) and the insights provided into the mechanisms underlying stressor effects (Townsend & Hildrew, 1994; Menezes et al., 2010; Statzner & Bêche, 2010).”
• A macroecological perspective of trait patterns in stream communities (2013, background): “Although the intensive research has also led to a few general reviews on organisms’ traits, these former reviews have mostly dealt with applied topics (Bonada et al., 2006; Statzner & Beche, 2010) or have been largely restricted to macroinvertebrates (Verberk et al., 2008, Menezes et al., 2010).”
• A trait-based approach to assess the vulnerability of European aquatic insects to climate change (2013, background): “…resolve the effects of multiple stressors on river ecosystems (e.g., Poff, 1997; Dolédec et al., 1999; Usseglio-Polatera et al., 2000; Statzner et al., 2001; Dolédec et al., 2006; Statzner & Bêche, 2010; see also Menezes et al., 2010 for a review of the ecological background and case studies).”
